Zohran Mamdani's surprise NYC mayoral primary victory came from these neighborhoods - and a 'far broader' coalition than expected
Briefly

Zohran Mamdani's upset victory in the Democratic mayoral primary, particularly in predominantly white and liberal Brooklyn neighborhoods, demonstrates his appeal as a socialist candidate. He not only dominated among typical liberal voters in areas like Brooklyn Heights and Fort Greene, but also made unexpected gains among Black and Hispanic New Yorkers. Political analysts noted that his coalition spans beyond traditional demographics for a Democratic Socialists of America candidate, indicating a shift in voter preferences. His significant lead in key districts reveals a potential transformation in the voting landscape of the city.
Mamdani developed a much broader coalition than you might have expected from the fact he was a (Democratic Socialists of America) candidate.
Mamdani's highest voter turnout was a Brooklyn district representing Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights, where he garnered more than 20,000 votes to Cuomo's 5,500.
